C. Compouns that possess benzene ring
D. Hydrocarbonds that possess benzene rings

Answer

4

Explanation

In arenes the substituents on the benzene rings have carbon and hydrogens, i.e., arenes are aromatic hydrocarbon. Originally the word aromatic was applied to pleasant smelling substances. The word now describes benzene, its derivatives, and certain other compounds that exhibit similar chemical properties. Some have very fou odors because of the substituents on the ring. On the other hand, many fragrant compounds do not contain benzene ring.
